An example system includes a processor configurable to iden- tify, from a first device, a second device transmitting wireless signals to the first device. The processor is configurable to determine, from the first device, a signal level of the wireless signals received by the first device — 702 from the second device. The processor is configurable to identify, from the first device, a third device transmitting wireless signals to the second device. The processor is configurable to determine, from the first device, a signal level of the wireless signals received by the second device from _ 704 the third device. The processor is configurable to derive a location status of the first device based on the identification of the second and third de- vices and the signal levels of the wireless signals received by the first and second devices from the second and third devices, respectively. — 706 708 = (54) .
